Wow. I'm always wandering Middle Earth in my head. Now I have some maps! A fun book.

I do like me some maps, but I wouldn't throw my money at it. I'm not THAT much of a fan.
It would make for decent gift. (

This is a great collection. All of the maps are large, in full color, and very detailed. It also comes with a book explaining each map: the story it goes along with, the places, and basic history. Reading the book by itself kind of gives you a snapshot of all Middle Earth and its History in one small volume. (

Disambiguation notice

NOTE: The Maps of Tolkien's Middle Earth (plural, published 2003), by Sibley and Howe is not the same book as The Map of Tolkien's Middle Earth (singular, 1995) by the same authors. The Maps has a great deal of additional material; The Map comprises a single fold-out map and a 24-page booklet.
